Unlike the electronic journal that mimics its print equivalent, the h-journal takes advantage of the electronic medium and hypertext to provide a new product with structures that are defined by the users' tasks (in this case, reading and information retrieval by both browsing and known-item searching methods). A model is proposed for utilizing document and links structures that enable these task. This model provides small academic publishers a means of hypertext journal publishing on the Web, without the hardships posed by SGML-compliance. Some of the advantages and limitations of the model for scholarly publishing are briefly discussed. Page 1 ASK: A Database for the Analysis of Local Serials Costs Alex Bloss Data on local serial expenditures are required in a research library, but such data for a library's entire serials collection are often difficult to obtain. The University of Illinois at Chicago has developed a database for the analysis of serials costs derived from a NOTIS library data management system. This database, called ASK, permits the extraction and analysis of 20 data elements useful in pricing and collection analyses. This article reviews some advantages of such a database compared to stand-alone files and demonstrates some of ASK's capabilities. Page 21 Damaged Periodicals: A Wet Trail Yields Dry Results Constance L. Foster It is possible to successfully replace serials damaged in a library disaster with eighteen months. A recovery plan, concerted effort in assessing damage, detailed identification of replacements, constant revision of the affected title list, and ongoing contact with back issues vendors are key elements in restoring a collection. Page 33 The Librarian's Role in Teaching Academic Authors About Publishing Procedures and Ethics Beth Luey Serials librarians can play an important role in teaching graduate students and new faculty about the procedures for submitting journal articles and book manuscripts and about the ethics of scholarly publishing. The issues to be covered are reviewed, and a variety of resources for workshops and discussions are described. Page 39 Electronic Journals in the MIT Libraries: Report of the 1995 E-Journal Subgroup Ellen Duranceau, Margret Lippert, Marlene Manoff, and Carter Snowden The MIT Libraries had been working with electronic journals since 1991, using a local archiving model with WAIS-indexed access through a gopher and then through the Libraries; web pages, when by spring of 1995, it became clear that established receipt and archiving procedures could not accommodate the "second-generation" e-journals emerging in HTML and other non-ASCII, multimedia formats. This report analyzes how the second-generation e-journals challenge procedures and philosophies developed in a different era; establishes new criteria for archiving, check-in, and accessing remote e-journal sites; and proposes a new philosophy for handling e-journals in the MIT Libraries. Page 47 Electronic Journal Forum: CICNet's Electronic Journal Collection Donnice Cochenour Libraries continue to struggle with issues created by the shift to electronic scholarly publishing. One organization that has been actively involved in these issues practically from the beginning is CICNet. The E-Serials Archive became the de facto national archive for freely distributed electronic journals. The CIC libraries are rethinking how to provide the best service to their users. Wisdom gained from the CICNet E-Serials Archive project is providing the basis for a new managed, selected collection of scholarly electronic journals call the CICNet Electronic Journals Collection. Page 63 The Balance Point: Old Wine in New Bottles?: Defining Electronic Serials Edited by Ellen Duranceau, with contributions by Marilyn Geller, Crystal Graham, Ed Jones, Erik Jul, and Rebecca Ringler The terminology we have used to decide what publications are serials arose out of a print publishing environment and does not necessarily transfer directly to the world of electronic serials, where distribution, format, access, and presentation can vary dramatically from the print world. Five writers present their views on whether current definitions and terminology are adequate for describing electronic serials. Page 69 Little Magazine Interview Index Barbara Richards and Yvonne Schofer Richards and Schofer present their eleventh annual index of interviews that appeared in little magazines received in the Sukov Collection at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
